Quincy Dumps Flock Cameras for a One-Man Startup No One Can Find

Quincy is tearing out its 50 Flock Safety license plate cameras and replacing them with a new automated reader system built on Axis Communications hardware and software called OdinEye — a switch Mayor Thomas Koch announced without any public input or competitive bidding process. The move comes weeks after the city council voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with Flock following sustained pushback from residents over the cameras' privacy implications.

“Muckle” Can Mean to Grab and Hold Tight

The word muckle means “grab, seize, or tackle and hold tight,” and it’s especially associated with New Hampshire, Maine, and parts of Massachusetts. Eric from Monroe, New Hampshire, says most people he’s talked with have never heard of it, but his older brothers used to threaten him saying things like, If you don’t cut it out, I’m gonna muckle you! You can also muckle onto a rope, the end of a couch, or an idea, and you can even muckle onto someone when kissing them passionately. The origin of the word muckle is unclear. It may be influenced by an older Scots or Northern England word meaning “large” or “much,” although it may well have to do with the idea of muck as a verb applied to doing physically demanding work, such as mucking out a stall. For more than a century, the military has used muckle through as a joking mispronunciation of “muscle through.” This is part of a complete episode.

Flock cameras reveal new capabilities after contract is signed | Letter

Re: “ Some Mass. towns ditch Flock cameras while others defend their use ” (Norman Miller, MetroWest Daily News, Oct. 28, 2026) The most striking fact in your Oct. 28 reporting is not that some towns kept the cameras and others dropped them. It is that several police chiefs who once praised Flock Safety’s automated license plate readers later reversed course—once they learned the system could search far more than plates. That detail, carried by the MetroWest Daily News, reveals the real problem: communities are buying a black box whose capabilities expand after the contract is signed. Framingham let its contract expire. Hopkinton terminated for procurement defects. Bellingham’s chief cited undisclosed search functions. Milford’s chief—an ACLU member—will not renew. These are not abstract privacy activists. They are the officials responsible for public safety who concluded the technology had outrun the consent they originally gave. Meanwhile, Medway voters face a Nov. 9 Town Meeting article to ban the devices after a citizen petition gathered more than 400 signatures. The deeper issue is not whether ALPRs sometimes solve crimes. It is whether a private company should be allowed to turn every public street into a searchable database whose full powers are disclosed

BMR football wins back-and-forth clash with Keefe Tech marred by fight

BLACKSTONE— The MIAA Division 8 Round of 16 football game between No. 6 Blackstone-Millville (7-2, 1-2 CMAC D) and No. 11 Keefe Tech (6-3, 3-0 CMAC F) on Saturday, Nov. 7 had all the makings of an instant classic: a hard-fought, back-and-forth battle between two evenly matched sides on a cool fall afternoon in the Blackstone Valley. Unfortunately, much like the field after a rain-soaked Friday , the ending muddied things up. Trailing 28-22 with just seconds on the clock, Broncos' sophomore quarterback Kelton Fertel tossed a Hail Mary deep downfield for junior wide receiver Hunter Duran, only for it to be picked off by his counterpart, Chargers senior quarterback/defensive back Karson Cournoyer, near midfield to seal the deal and book BMR's place in the Elite Eight. Then, near the Keefe Tech sideline, emotions boiled over as a fight broke out between the two teams, resulting in the ejection of a few Broncos players as well as Chargers senior wide receiver/defensive back/kicker Nathan Oliveira. The referees, consulting with the Blackstone Police, called the game with 0:04 seconds left and made both teams and fans exit the stadium separately, starting with the visitors. Oliveira, who hauled in a momentum-shifting 90-yard touchdown
